Camber after lowering

Stelios619 · 05-02-2021, 03:54 AM

I only learned recently that the camber isn’t adjustable on these cars.

I have a KW HAS kit on the way, and was wondering if anybody ran into camber issues that were way out of spec after getting the stance just right.

No, you'll be fine!

That’s what I’m hoping for. I’ve read a few stories of people wearing out their tires really badly after not being able to adjust camber, but I’m hoping that they were isolated issues.

Camber doesn’t kill tyres. Toe does.

camber doesn't *kill* tires, but it will cause them to wear unevenly. The answer to that, though, is to make sure one takes corners aggressively on a regular basis.

I logged in today to start a thread on the same subject. My tech told me the fronts weren't adjustable. Are you saying both F&R aren't adjustable? The difference between mine on the front is -1.5 vs -1.8 so I'm not concerned.

Rear is adjustable, front are not.
